Abstract: | Background and Aim: Gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (EOB-MRI) has been recognized as a useful imaging technique to distinguish the biological behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: We analyzed 217 hepatectomy recipients with HCCs measuring 10 cm or less. We divided the patients into a decreased intensity (DI) group (n = 189, 87%) and an increased or neutral intensity (INI) group (n = 28, 13%) according to the ratio of tumor intensity to liver intensity during the hepatobiliary phase (HBP). According to the ratio of the maximum tumor diameter (including peritumoral hypointensity) between HBP images and precontrast T1-weighted images (RHBPP), we divided the patients as follows: The group whose RHBPP was >= 1.036 was the high RHBPP group (n = 60, 28%), and the group whose RHBPP was <1.036 was the low RHBPP group (n = 157, 72%). We investigated the prognoses and clinicopathological characteristics of these patients. Results: DI versus INI was not a prognostic factor for either survival or recurrence; however, a high RHBPP was an independent predictor of unfavorable survival and recurrence in patients. In addition, the INI group showed significantly lower alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels and higher rates of well-differentiated HCC and ICGR15 >= 15% than the DI group. The high RHBPP group showed significantly higher rates of vascular invasion and poorly differentiated HCC than the low RHBPP group. Conclusions: A high RHBPP by EOB-MRI is a preoperative predictor of vascular invasion and an unfavorable prognostic factor for survival and recurrence. These patients might be considered for highly curative operations such as anatomical liver resection. |
